I've still not seen it. Is it worth watching?

It's entertaining.

I mean, it's not a snoozefest or a waste of time. It just isn't the film it was made out to be by the public. Maybe it's smart and complex by Hollywood blockbuster standards, but I found it to be a let down. If you have the time and you're interested in it, I'd say go for it, otherwise don't try and make time.

If I like The Butterfly Effect, would I like this one more or less? All I've heard of the movie is that it can be a mind ****, but I've seen Memento, and that movie was the most mind **** I've ever seen.

I would equate it's reputation to that of The Butterfly Effect, so I feel you will definitely enjoy it. BUT this movie couldn't sniff Memento's ******* if it tried.

I'll check it out then, if nothing more than to write about it for work. Gracias amigo.

Let me know what you think of it.

It's a marvel to look at if you like special effects. Great score. Good acting from Leo. Definitely not a great film but like Frown said, it's entertaining. That upside down hallway fight with JGL is worth the run time itself. Cillian Murphy was also really good in it.

It is a pretty good original summer blockbuster in a time when people are constantly complaining about all the sequels and remakes.

I swore they were going to give it to The Help this year but I was a bit shocked it went to The Artist.

Mostly because I didn't really hear much about The Artist until it won. I feel like to this day I still haven't watched it. I will one day though. The Tree of Life is another overlooked movie from my perspective that I wanted to see but just didn't get around to it and it fell off my radar.
